Is it a pupnik of some sort?

Panda-like is his official color scheme, it seems.

I'm not an expert, but does that pose look like it can be done done as a single piece?

I'm thinking that it can be done, but as to the material?

I'm guessing that HIPS and resin are no goes; PVC or metal, though?

Obviously, Prodos' Unicast stuff can produce some impressive results given the limitations, but it doesn't look like that pose would require the Unicast level of ingenuity. Wonder if the minis are being outsourced for this one.

Surprised that nobody posted the first render from the arena-esque game.

Just so everyone knows, this got pulled from imgur as someone involved with playtesting seems to have leaked it without thinking.

It was a dude who looked kinda like a pandaren from Warcraft.

My first thought was the panda from Kung Fu Panda meself.

Think Panderan from Warcraft and Kung Fu Panda are pretty much the same thing

But Pandaren are older!

Kung Fu pandas eat dumplings and noodles

Warcraft pandarians eat mountain dew and Cheetos

clearly different

Skadoosh! I understand Panda is quite tasty. Mmmm, hickory smoked Panda....

That's gremlin D.VA.

Really lovely stuff this conv



And more info about Wotan

That Gorgos conversion... wow.

I'll try to get few games for Wotan. Kinda wish my QK and USA force would be in full strength for this one.

The new snipershot is up. Considering all the recent background articles with Alive! characters, I'm taking a wild guess that this is Cypher.... Just because I imagine that the name Cypher is the kind of name one would give a character that wears a trenchcoat.

My money is on a Father Sfoza resculpt.
No reason why.

So this is happening finally



The website is here.

Woooo, was going to say "no link?" but you have made the pretty picture the link. Good work!

Danavas hacker profile up. A rather nicely costed WIP15 hacker.

I legitimately thought you meant the dude who leaked it looked like a Pandaren! I thought "that's a bit harsh..."

(Catching up on new posts in reverse order - lack of context can have this effect!)

Pretty solid profile, 25 pt HD+ with Maestro. Competes with Thamyris for a similar slot and probably does the job better than him.

Was already planning on running a massive hack network with ALIVE and Scylla for Wotan, probably going to throw her in.

BTS 3 is a bit low for a hacker, however. It's a cheap WIP15, but squishy as hell especially against enemy hackers.

Maestro, +3 to WIP, -3 to their roll. She's unlikely to lose a hack fight through a firewall except against Killers, which are easily countered by Cybermasking.

And this ^^^ is why I dislike the hacking in N3. It's a game, with its own ruleset, embedded into the main game. A distraction. Still, nice enough profile for a nice mini. It's good to see the Vedics get some attention.


Has there been any rumors about other new Vedic units coming along? Or even resculpts?

Based on the extant renders, this month I believe that we are looking at:
-Caledonian Volunteers box
-Zhangying w/Combi and poorly goofily sculpted greatcoat.
-Airborne Ranger with Molotok
-Sukuel Command w/ML
-Riot Grrls and the megacephalic tinbot box

Two more repacks and the GenCon deal announcement.

Nothing for a Haqq/ASA player, but last month was very, very good. So, no complaints.

Would they release the Caledonian Box and the Airborne Rangers, all for Ariadna, in a single month?

The Danavas seems like they're taking cues from Tohaa design. No frills, you're paying for a good offensive WIP 15 hacker with a Pitcher with no bloat. Seems boring when you look at it from the perspective of non-Tohaa units, but it's a good, cost effective hacker/specialist.

I used to love the look of space marines and 40k in general, but since getting into Infinity, when I go back and look at them or look at the new 40k 8th Edition releases they just dont look cool to me anymore, all I see are these bulky 'derpy' looking characters... I Want to get excited for the new 40k but infinity seems to have destroyed my love for the aesthetic of that game. Curious if anyone else feels this way?

I just like how crazy they are:

Couldn't resist the sale and got the Aleph pack. So... guess I play infinity now? chose between Aleph, Morat, Ariadna and PanO. Did I make a good choice? Really love the Aleph models, anime robots+lady robots is a great theme, plus the design and colors remind me of Xenosaga. I also saw that that exact theme is getting a new subfaction, so I guess I'm in luck! What should I do now? Literally know nothing about this game except it has complicated rules.

I quite like the new miniatures, and I think the Primaris Marines solve a big problem I've had with Space Marine models for a while. They look squat and dumpy when they should be tall, regal and powerful. Also changing the Bolt Gun into a Bolt Rifle is great. The longer rifle design is pretty awesome.

I don't like them enough to blow $220au on the starter set.

Never was that big of a fan of Space Marines. I still like the look of my Eldar, although they've aged quite a bit. Thousand Sons and Tzeench Arcanites look really cool. Infinity can't compete with larger centerpiece models that 40k offers.

It's not so bad especially since N3 came out.
The rules themselves aren't complex. The game is complex in the choices available building your list and executing during gameplay.
